Hi @firefox4
It certainly seems that your benefits need looking at!
From the description above, I cannot tell whether or not you would seem eligible for PIP, but from the information you have given I would say that if you are eligible it probably would not be backdated.
If you have a local advice agency, I would recommend trying to get in to see someone face to face to have a full benefit check, but if this is not possible then it would certainly do no harm to make a claim for PIP - the worst they could say is no!
Best of luck with it, and do let us know if we can be of further assistance.
Kind regards,
Mary
